For me, the cost of using compiz is the lack of antialiasing on games. As soon as compiz is enabled i loose Antialiasing.

Also, we have not seen a windows test with aero enabled/disabled to say some things for sure. Do we?

A couple of times I have seen it crash with source based games. I have also seen it crash when minimizing games and alt-tabbing between a game and another application as well.

I don't say you are wrong but common knowledge does prove nothing. Show me sources.

Aero does impair gaming performance as it disables itself on fullscreen. You can see this for yourself when you compare fullscreen to windowed. Case closed.
Aero is indeed very stable, but Linux is in constant development and deployement. Maybe Aero was considdered stable before Vista for all you know.
But... Windows has come a long way in terms of stability! Now they must focus, and they are with Windows 7, on speed and security improvement. With the legacy cruft and tools from the stonage it is inarguable that the people who coded key parts of Windows 7 are gods.
That doesn't take away that Linux is more awesome alround, though.
